Club President recieves 2016 Highland Coaching Award

The 2016 Highland Coaching Awards were held at Inverness Leisure on Saturday 22nd October 2016. The awards are run by High Life Highland in partnership with sportscotland to recognise the outstanding contribution and significant impact of local coaches. These coaches enable quality sport and physical activity opportunities to happen in communities across the Highlands.

This year every nomination was in with 2 chances of winning, as each form was submitted to the Highland Awards as well as the National Awards. A staggering 65 nominations were presented which was the most Highland has ever received and it was also the most across Scotland which is fantastic!

It was a lovely morning recognising a selection of the hard working and committed coaches we have in Highland, hearing about their achievements and celebrating their successes. Each coach was given a VIP pass to the Shinty International and hospitality, taking place that day, along with a trophy and certificate.

The winners are:

Kelsey Christie (Thurso) – Young Persons Coach of the Year

Harry MacKay (Rogart) – Young Coach of the Year

Liz Smith (Nethy Bridge) – Community Coach of the Year

Duncan Flockhart (Inverness) – Development Performance Coach of the Year
